Jakob Poeltl has secured a four-year, $104 million contract extension with the Toronto Raptors, solidifying his role with the team through the 2029-30 season. The center, who opted into his 2026-27 player option worth $19.5 million, will continue to provide stability for the franchise. Last season, Poeltl posted career highs in several categories, averaging 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, while boasting a remarkable 63% shooting percentage from the field.

This contract allows the Raptors some breathing room, as it was structured with an opt-in-and-extend agreement. Poeltl's shooting efficiency ranks him among the league's elite, as he is one of only three players in NBA history to maintain a shooting percentage above 60% for eight consecutive seasons.
